Description including Unit Aims

The unit begins with a brief methodological and historical introduction. The course then relates the Old and New Testament witnesses to several key biblical themes. These may include the themes of 

the presence of God,
the people of God,
the biblical portrayal of God himself.

This thematic approach will be complemented by a survey of a few key biblical theologians who have influenced theological reflection on the Bible over the last half-century.
